[hpsdr] Long time subscriber, first time owner... where do I start?

[Michael Carey]

Thanks for the links John.

Hans VK5YX and I have been conversing via email and Facebook Messenger. 
He's been a wonderful guide.

Once I got my head around some initial stumbling blocks (related to old 
firmware), my HPSDR is working nicely!   I am most impressed with what 
it can do.  The DSP noise reduction in PowerSDR is incredible.

I am planning on using an old Codan 4404 Power Amplifier (Australian 
marine HF radio), 100 mW in 400 W out.  Looks like I can easily control 
the band switching with the outputs from Penelope.

I think I got a great buy for $200

Regards,

Michael.
